How to get my environment Name in power automate

Posted on by CU04030628-0

Hi Team,

I am working on a flow where I need to get my environment name and write it in a dataverse table.

used workflow()['tags']['environmentname']

But this expression returned environment ID.

I need this flow to be dynamic. As I will be exporting and importing it in a different user's environment, I need the flow to get the current environment name.

Please help in getting this.

Thanks in advance,

Naveen Kumar A.

I forget where I found this information, but you can probably get the information with a portion of this expression:

concat(concat(concat(concat('https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/', workflow()?['tags']['environmentName'],'/flows/',workflow()?['name'],'/runs/',workflow()?['run']['name']))))

You need the highlighted portion. The above generates the link to a specific flow run.

This expression generates a link to the workflow: concat(concat(concat('https://make.powerautomate.com/environments/', workflow()?['tags']['environmentName'],'/flows/',workflow()?['name'],'/details')))

HI,

What actions are you using to get the Environment Name? You have to leverage either

a) create an environment variable that has it set to the current environment (updating it on import of the solution so the value is dynamic on install of the solution)

b) be an admin and use the Admin Connector actions to get the environment name

Or you can follow this.

Power Automate: Find the current environment – Ben Prins but again you are adding failure points and many more action costs but it works great as do the other solutions.

Cheers

Here is a reference to the tag information that is available: How to get Power Automate flow information directly in the flow run. If am reading the information correctly, the display name of the environment is not returned in a workflow run. To get that information it looks like you will need to use the list my environments action and if possible, filter it on the name value.

If your environment list is static you can simply add a Compose with a JSON like this

{ "<EnvironmentID1>": "<EnvironmentName1>", "<EnvironmentID2>": "<EnvironmentName2>", "<EnvironmentID3>": "<EnvironmentName3>" }

and access it with the expression

outputs('Compose')?[workflow()['tags']['environmentname']]
